While Reading the developer's guide, I noticed that it said that translating windows' handles was always done by the server. I may have misunderstood this. Since interaction between the client and server requires at least two context switches and context switches are fairly heavy duty operations, would it make sense to cache handle lookups on the client?

You haven't read all the manual it seems. Wine already does cache file descriptors - the only piece of information related to handles that clients can cache. Everything else is inter-process and can't be cached / handled in client.
